Heidelberg in 2 hours!

We embarked on this tour to explore Heidelberg. Our knowledgeable guide, Henry, was well-versed in German history, particularly Heidelberg’s. He led us to the most captivating parts of the town, including the castle. His friendly and accommodating nature ensured that our 11-year-old son was thoroughly entertained throughout the tour. We truly appreciate his expertise and guidance.

Worth of your every single Penny

Henry is funny and professional. He shares lots of insight of the city which I don’t see any tour guide do that. He definitely know the city very well. His pace is also sweet. U don’t feel like you are walking a long way.

Great tour

Great tour! We leaned a lot about the history of Heidelberg. Our guide Ekki was very knowledgeable about the city and went above and beyond for us. He even gaves us great recommendations after to tour for other things to do while we are here. It was totally worth it and we now have a greater appreciation for this cute little town.

Henry was good. Our tour...

Henry was good. Our tour ended up being a private one as the other participants cancelled ... hence the 4 rating as having more people generally stimulates more and different conversations ... not Henry's fault but an overall observation.
